Include safety reporting procedures including a non-punitive reporting statement;

Indicate which types of behaviors are unacceptable relating to the airline or airport's activities;

Include circumstances under which disciplinary action would not apply to reported issues;

Be signed by the accountable executive;

Be posted in a visible location accessible by all employees; and

Be periodically reviewed and changed when necessary to ensure the policy remains relevant.

This element is satisfied when the airline or airport has defined their safety policy which clearly states their intentions, safety objectives and philosophies. Furthermore, there must be visible evidence of safety leadership and management ‘walking the talk’ and demonstrating by example.
